[on viktor's end it's deeply satisfying, even if he's still drawn tight in fury. even through the fog of his anger he feels an odd sort of shock too, which is why he doesn't give in to the nearly overwhelming urge to do that again and maybe not stop.
in the space of a blink all the anger is gone from him, not drained but vanished as though it was never there. the tingling of his knuckles gone, the tension in his jaw, and more damningly he's back in his seat as if he had never left it.
(the raspberries are untouched, which is a matter he'll piece together eventually.)
he blinks once, and where all his anger and wrath once stood fills with confused alarm. what the absolute hell was he thinking? the one thing he told palamedes was he would be careful around this man, insofar as even this visit was something he planned to keep short and respectful. apparently remina had similar feelings about his behavior, because he's been through this twice now and knows the loops when he sees them.
he wipes his face as neutral as he can, eyes going to his now unpunched host warily.] It seems Remina has decided to loop us.
[well, this would be awkward if he wasn't preoccupied with rolling unease.
(and he notably does not start with baffled apologies, because as unnatural as the spontaneous anger and violence were he meant every word. he should probably lie and apologize anyway but... well. one thing he and pal share in spades is a particular stubbornness.)]
